At this pace, I'm not going to get a broadcast each turn, but I'll try to keep current. Those familiar with these broadcasts will hear some repeats.

Guys, a business problem has come up that will require me to head out of town tonight and tomorrow morning. I do not expect to be able to play tonight or tomorrow morning. Sorry.

Morganic Faction Log, M.Y. 2107:
It has been 7 rough years on the surface of this strange planet. CEO Rubin has declared that a new set of principles are to be taken into effect during the next few years. Scientific studies of the Chiron ecology and geology suggest that the planet is potentially rich in minerals, nutrient resources and energy sources--though research is still required in order to reach the full potential.
Our prime concern should be to gain supreme control of the energy resources; without energy, no prosperity!, said CEO Rubin at a political conference on 'Chiron: The Future Potential'. Corporate thinking should help us overcome the problems we are facing.

Turn 2107 to President Net Warrior.
(a very special day today

Rubin · January 11, 2004, 17:05

CEO Rubin, Personal Log (M.Y. 2111):
Establishing a new civilization on Chiron has not been without considerable losses. Our need for unity and a sense for having a home have resulted in a faction wide structure change. From now on, we shall be known as the Rubinites and the Psych department has already suggested several new names for our settlements.

*Public Announcement, M.Y. 2111*
These are changes made to the House Rules agreed upon:

§ 16. AI Base Exchange:
(1) You are not allowed to trade bases with the AI. That is, trading one of your bases for an AI base.
(2) You may offer bases as gifts ('a token of your gratitude') to the AI.
(3) Extortion of the AI is allowed, i.e. demanding that the AI transfers control of a base to your faction.

§ 24. Native Life Patrol Routes:
Psi units (i.e. native units) cannot be assigned multiple point patrol routes (avoid instant demon boil bug!).

Turn 2111 passed to the Peacekeepers.
